Chapter 113: Simple Keqing, I could trick her into bed in one night!

Afterwards, as the conversation opened up, the atmosphere at the wine table became even more harmonious.

Beidou was completely part of the atmosphere group, pouring big bowls of wine for everyone.

Except for Luo Li, who accepted everything, the others couldn't quite handle it.

Eula and Raiden Ei preferred clear wine or mint wine, and Noelle usually didn't drink alcohol at all; after several large jars, they were all struggling.

And Keqing didn't like alcohol either; her eyes were a bit hazy, and her flushed cheeks were endearing.

At the same time, under Luo Li’s intentional guidance, the topic gradually shifted from the customs of Mondstadt and Liyue to the systems and various pros and cons of the two countries.

Influenced by the alcohol, Keqing was already a bit muddled and not as rational as usual.

"To say something disrespectful, does he, the Rex Lapis, really know everything?"

Publicly questioning the Rex Lapis with such disrespectful words, in the entire Liyue, perhaps only Keqing could say it.

Hearing this, Luo Li agreed solemnly: "Indeed, Morax doesn't know a damn thing."

Speaking ill of an old friend behind his back, he had no sense of guilt at all.

Seeing Keqing, emboldened by alcohol, actually speaking her true thoughts to a stranger she had only met once or twice, Beidou was very surprised.

Everything was under Luo Li’s control.

Influenced and affirmed, Keqing couldn't help but develop a sense of intimacy toward Luo Li; after all, he might understand her better than she understood herself.

Every word he said seemed to hit Keqing’s heart, making the young girl feel happy and excited, not knowing that all of this was carefully planned by a despicable man.

For this reason, she asked with an expectation she hadn't even noticed herself.

"In your view, what is the most important thing that has supported Liyue through the millennium?"

Luo Li pondered for a moment, as if thinking: "Naturally, it is humanity itself. Humans are existences that must rely on effort to survive; dominating the future must always be borne by humans themselves. Even if gods remain constant for a thousand or a hundred years, they will eventually disappear one day. When that time comes, where will Liyue go?"

Although Luo Li was backstabbing an old friend, what he said was also the truth.

Gods cannot withstand erosion forever and must eventually leave one day.

"Hmph, that’s right, what must go on must ultimately rely on us humans ourselves, yet he, high above, wants to intervene in everything!"

Keqing’s emotions were a bit agitated; perhaps encountering someone with the same thoughts for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a sense of mutual appreciation.

Ordinary people simply didn't possess such foresight, or rather, accustomed to the protection of the Rex Lapis, they were completely unwilling to think in this direction.

For this reason, Keqing was worried all day long.

In her view, the opportunity for change had arrived, and the order maintained for a thousand years was about to be rewritten; she hoped to lead this historic moment herself!

"I support your idea. Facing the gods, not believing blindly, not following blindly, and always maintaining independent thinking—this is the correct attitude. After all, who can guarantee that a god won't make mistakes?"

Luo Li continued to stir the pot here, and under his skillful guidance, it resonated with Keqing, and her gaze toward him became soft.

To tell the truth, if Raiden Ei weren't here, and Eula and Noelle weren't following him.

If he really wanted to, he could completely trick Keqing into bed in one night.

This little girl was still a bit simple; even though she had experienced a lot, compared to him, she was ultimately still immature and green.

"Sigh, I am truly too kind, blocking the young girl’s weaknesses in advance."

Self-sighing, Luo Li inadvertently caught Raiden Ei’s amused gaze.

"Do you want me to take Eula and Noelle to find a place to stay in advance, and you can do as you please with the little girl tonight?"

Listening to the gentle words whispered in his ear without the slightest strangeness, Luo Li coughed lightly and said: "No need for tonight, it’s only the first time we’ve met."

"Oh, so that means you will do that next time; you really aren't perfunctory toward me at all."

Luo Li said in a low and gentle voice: "I will never lie to you."

"Then I have to thank you for your frankness."

With a hint of feigned anger and helplessness in her eyes, Raiden Ei knew the nature of the person beside her clearly.

After nearly a thousand years of being together, no matter how good someone is at hiding, they can't pretend forever.

And the five hundred years of fighting in the Abyss made Ei look past everything.

She could tolerate all of Luo Li’s shortcomings; call it love, perhaps there was also a trace of strange maternal-like feelings mixed in.

Of course, there were also the ethical values of Archons that differed from humans.

Just as Morax could change into ten thousand forms, both male and female, and didn't mind switching between them at all.

Speaking of which, if Luo Li hadn't been picky back then, he could have easily tasted the flavor of the Geo Archon.

Luo Li squeezed the mature older sister’s hand, feeling quite satisfied: "Because I know you won't be angry."

Rolling her eyes at him, Raiden Ei pulled away and pretended to be angry as she approached Eula.

Luo Li didn't care, continuing to build a relationship with Keqing on the common topic of Morax.

If the Rex Lapis heard that he had become a tool for an old friend to flirt with girls, it was unclear what kind of expression he would show.

Hmm... probably wouldn't be surprised either; he knew his old friend’s temperament clearly.

Thus, until the moon hung on the branches, the banquet finally reached its end.

Beidou drank the last drop of wine and wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth in a bold manner.

"Haha, refreshing! Being able to recognize new friends today is truly a fortunate event!"
